 ^ 7V/ £ volume entitled "Catalogue of Original and Early 
 
 * Editions offome oj the Poetical and Profe Works of EngliJJi 
 
 Writers from Langland to Wither" published by the Grolier 
 
 Club in 1893, met with so kindly a reception from all who 
 
 £_ had occasion to consult it that the Committee, by whom the 
 
 <t book -was prepared, felt e?icouraged to extend its labors. The 
 
 result is the present work, which may be considered a con- 
 
 tinuation of the bibliography of English Writers up to the 
 
 <£> early years of the eighteenth century. 
 
 CO 
 
 $2 There have been innumerable delays and disappoint- 
 
 ^ ments connected with the preparation of this work, chief 
 ^ among which was the unexpected and lamented death of the 
 one whose love for bibliography, combined with painstaking 
 accuracy of description, made his untimely loss a serious 
 obstacle to the early completion of the undertaking. A large 
 \ portion of the present work is the result of the labors of 
 Ediuard Hale Bierstadt, and it seems due to his memory 
 that his associates should here record the deep sense of their 
 appreciation of his character as a man, and of their admi- 
 ration for his knowledge of bibliography. 
 
 The continuation of the work after Air. Bierstadt 's 
 death was undertaken by another member of the Committee, 
 
 £13786
 
 \ 111 Preface 
 
 who carefully revised the col la lions by means of his own 
 extensive library, adding many items that greatly in 
 
 \sed the scope and usefulness of the bibliography. 
 
 dispersion of several important libraries, whose 
 treasures had been generously placed at the disposal of the 
 Committee, has proved another cause of delay, and made it 
 impossible in many instances to correct the proof by the 
 books t house I v. 
 
 1 1 is an undeniable fact that, notwithstanding I he great 
 est care, errors will creep in, and, in view of the unexpected 
 obstacles referred to above, it is hoped that a generous al- 
 lowance will be made for the difficulties of arriving at per- 
 fect accuracy in a work of this nature. As in the former 
 volume, the boohs described have been taken from the libra- 
 ries of mem bos of the (l roller Club, except in a few cases 
 where the importance of putting on record the full list of 
 an author s writings compelled the Committee to turn else- 
 where — generally to the British Museum for the volumes 
 not to be found in this country. 
 
 The flan of collation has remained the same as adopted 
 in the former volume, the test of over a dozen years use 
 having fully proved its general excellence. The facsimiles 
 of titles are partly by the artotype process and partly 
 printed directly in the text. 'The object of the reproduction 
 is to present a picture of the title-page rather than the 
 exact size of the original, which has seldom been more 
 
 ■ii approximated. Indeed, extreme accuracy in this 
 respect is difficult owing to the constant changes in the 
 gelatin negative. 
 
 The works collated are arranged in a single alphabet 
 extending through the three volumes. Under each author s
 
 Preface ix 
 
 name the works are given in chronological order, collected 
 editions following earlier separate volumes. Translations 
 from other languages ai'e entered under the name of the 
 translators with cross-references from the authors. Cross- 
 references are made to all proper names from initials or 
 pseudonyms given on title-pages. The third volume will 
 contain an index of printers and publishers, and another 
 of engravers, which will cover the volume of iSgj as well 
 as the present volumes, and, it is thought, will be a fcahtrc 
 of exceptional value. 
 
 The Committee is grateful for many kindnesses on the 
 part of those members who have loaned their books for the 
 purposes of the work, and desires to make here due acknow- 
 ledgment for these cotirtesies. 
 
 With the earnest hope that the work now finished may 
 be of use to collectors and prove to be a genuine Contribu- 
 tion to English Bibliography, it is submitted to the con- 
 sideration of the members of the Grolier Club.

 8 Collations and Notes 
 
 The plates, numbering forty seven including the frontispiece, are prob- 
 ably all engraved by Stun, though only the frontispiece is signed by 
 him. They are all printed on the same sheets as the text, and excepting 
 the firsl they all have part of the text printed on the backs. They are 
 i opied from Hugo's well known book of Emblems and are the same de- 
 OS that were used for Quarles's Emblems. In the preface Arwaker, 
 after finding fault with Quarles, who "only borrow'd his Emblems, to prae- 
 ti\ them to much inferiqur fenfe ", admits that he himself has taken consid- 
 erable liberties with his original, omitting some things, altering others, 
 and adding new matter of his own.

 The principal poem in this volume, " Salmacis and Hermaphroditus ", 
 was first published anonymously in 1602. In that edition the sonnet 
 " To the true Patroneffe of all Poetrie, Caliope " was not signed with the 
 initials F. B. as in the edition described above ; and the commendatory 
 poem "To the Author", which is signed J. F. (presumably John Fletcher) 
 in the above edition, was signed A. F. in the edition of 1602. There is 
 no evidence that any of the poems contained in this volume were written 
 by Francis Beaumont. 
 
 The volume was doubtless intended to end at Sig. E4, and the im- 
 primatur is given at that place. The remaining poems were evidently

 the longer one being signed by Bishop Earle. The volume ends with 
 the well-known poem beginning : 
 
 " Like a Ring without a Finger 
 Or a Bell without a Ringer," etc. 
 
 The authorship of this poem is impossible to determine. Poems on the 
 same model are printed in the works of Henry King, Francis Quarles, 
 and other writers, and the subject was a popular one during the seven- 
 teenth century.

 also borrowed from Randolph, Cleveland, Waller, and other contem-

 as the dedication to Robert Ducie in the edition of 1640. In 1660 the

 In all the known copies of this work, Sig. N3 (pp. 181 and 182) has

 that on the remaining strip the initial letters of the missing poem can be 
 read. Mr. F. G. Kenyon, writing to the London "Athenaeum", in the 
 number for October 19, 1899, identifies this missing poem by means of 
 the initial letters with a poem contained in a manuscript volume of Sir 
 John Beaumont's poems preserved in the Stowe collection of MSS. in 
 the British Museum. We reprint it here : 
 
 "On the death of many good People slaine by the fall of a floore att a 
 Catholike Sermon in Black Friers. 
 
 Mann hath no fast defence, noe place of rest 
 
 Betweene the earthe and mansyon of the blest.

 Depressing death our heavy Bodyes calls

 But first the ffleshe must sincke w th hope to ryse.

 ing leaf is supplied with a reprinted leaf containing two poems which are 
 given below. It is not known by whom or when this substituted leaf 
 was printed, but that the poems are not the same as those originally 
 cancelled is proved by the fact that the initial letters of the lines do not 
 agree with those found in some copies of the book. 
 
 "Of the Death of the Most Noble the Lord Marquesse Hamilton. 
 
 Another Noble gone ! what art thou Death 
 
 That puts a stoppe to eache heroic breath ? 
 
 Art thou an enemie to all that's great ? 
 
 Doe godlike actions still provoke thy hate ? 
 
 Must the best blood then of the Sister Land 
 
 Still feel the uengeance of thy tyrant hand ? 
 
 I bid thee stoppe in this thy bold careere, 
 
 We have a Souereigne of that Land now here ; 
 
 Who reigns so noble in his peoples loue, 
 
 He still must waite before he goes aboue. 
 
 A loyal subiect bids you to forbear, 
 
 Go where you will or chuse you come not there. 
 
 I'll say no more, it goes to eu'ry heart 
 
 When even Kings are forc'd from Friends to part.

 above, the second containing exactly the 
 same matter with the addition of twelve 
 lines of Latin verse engraved on copper- 
 plate and printed in the blank space at 
 
 the foot of the recto. This plate is signed 
 " I. ( 1. sculp " and has the signature 
 "2O " at the foot. It was doubtless in- 
 tended to replace Sig. O2, but some 
 copies of the book are found containing 
 both leaves. Canto IX, "The Recapitu- 
 lation ", in Latin and English facing each 
 other on opposite pages, O2 verso to Q2

 VII by Jeremy Collier, Kki verso to

 prose and verse, Nn2. 
 
 Each canto of the poem contains one hundred stanzas, and begins 
 with an " Argument " either in Latin or English verse, or both, and ends 
 with a stanza of Latin. Canto IX is written in two-line stanzas, while 
 all the others are in three-line stanzas. Cantos X and XI have the title 
 "The vanitie of the world " in addition to the titles given above. Canto 
 XII has, as an additional title, " The sweetnesse of retirement, or the hap- 
 pinesse of a private life", which is shortened in Canto XIII to "The 
 pleasure of retirement". 
 
 A prominent feature of " Theophila " is the engraved plates with 
 which it is profusely illustrated, and hardly two copies of the book are 
 known containing exactly the same number of plates. It has been sup- 
 posed that many copies were used by the author for presentation to his 
 friends, and that in such copies he added plates which do not appear in 
 the ordinary book-seller's copies. '

 Of these illustrations the portrait of Benlowes and Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 
 8, 9, 10, 11, and 15 are rather sketchy in character, resembling etchings,

 " Remarkable, however, as the volume may be for its rarity, it is still 
 more remarkable as presenting in the portrait prefixed and in the con- 
 tents a most curious instance of literary imposition. The portrait, to 
 which so much value is attached, is in reality from the original plate 
 representing Christian Ravis or Ravius, a native of Berlin, who was cele- 
 brated for his knowledge of the Oriental languages, and coming to this 
 country was much patronised and encouraged by Archbishop Usher. 
 This portrait was originally prefixed to his Discourse of the Oriental 
 Tongues : together with a general Grammar for the Hebrew, Samaritan, 
 Chaldee, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic Tongues. London, 1649. 8vo. It 
 is in an oval, and represents him in a cassock with flowing hair, aet. 32, 
 with ships in the distance, and the inscription, ' Christianus Ravius 
 Berlinas.' In the present volume, where it stands for Henry Bold, the 
 inscription has been obliterated, and the plate, which is worn, has been 
 evidently retouched. We have the same portrait again in a third and 
 much more worn state prefixed to a volume entitled Divine Poems and 
 Meditations. In two parts. Written by William Williams of the County of 
 Cornwall, Gent. &c. London, 1677. 8vo ; but not belonging to the book. 
 It has a fresh inscription underneath: 'Vera Effigies Guliel : Williams 
 al' Willisum. Nat. Comitat : Gloc : Ianu' 27, 1626, Philosophus set. 32'; 
 and is intended in this third state to represent a certain W'illiam Williams, 
 a native of Gloucestershire, an astrologer of inferior note, an entirely differ- 
 ent person from the author of the Divine Poems, who was a native of Corn- 
 wall, and is prefixed to his Occult Physick, 1660, nrao. In all the three 
 cases the portrait is the same, and taken from the same plate. We now 
 come to the book itself, which is remarkable for the same barefaced 
 appropriation of the property of others, the whole of nearly the first fifty 
 pages being taken verbatim from Poems Divine and Humane, by Thomas 
 Beedome, London, 1641 (see No. 37), although not in the exact order 
 in which they occur in that volume ; and some other poems, including the 
 most meritorious, are filched from Herrick's Hesperides. It is probable that 
 most of the rest of the contents are taken from some other collections of 
 poems, although we have not been able to identify them in all cases ; and

 Anne Bradstreet was the daughter of Thomas Dudley, governor of 
 Massachusetts. She was married in 1628, and in 1630 came to America 
 with her husband and her father. Her poems, first published in London 
 in the volume here described, are among the earliest produced in America. 
 A second edition was published at Boston in 1678, and a third in 1758. 
 They were edited and published, together with her other works, by John 
 Harvard Ellis, at Charlestown, in 1867.

 Haslewood and Corser both state that a leaf of explanation should 
 precede each engraved frontispiece, although we are unable to trace any 
 copy containing them. Haslewood in his introduction to an edition of 
 " Bainabae Itinerarium", published in two volumes in 1820, describes 
 these leaves as follows : " A leaf prefixed to the ' Laws of Drinking ' is 
 often wanting in the copies of that work and therefore given here, it being 
 our author's explanation of ' The Device of this Frontispice to the 
 booke translated and entitled Jus Potandi, or the Law of Drinking. 
 Which Sculpture was addressed to his deserving Friend and Exquisite 
 artist, Mr. Marshall . . . '. The second title is preceded by a similar 
 explanation, entitled ' The Draught of this Frontispice, addressed for the 
 Booke entitled The Smoaking Age or the Life and death of Tobacco ...'." 
 
 The work is a translation from the Latin of " Disputatio Inauguralis 
 Theoretica Practica Jus potandi breviter adumbrans, Oenozythopoli, ad 
 signum oculorum rubricolorum " published anonymously in the same 
 year.

 70 Col Lit ions and Notes 
 
 The work is printed throughout in Latin and English facing each other 
 oa opposite pages. Each page contains a single stanza, and is orna- 
 mented with type metal bauds at the head and foot. 
 
 The volume contains no indication either of place of publication or 
 date. The latter, however, is determined by the fact of its having been 
 licensed to John Haviland, June 7, 1638. Nor does it contain the 
 author's name, who was stated, in the second and subsequent editions, to 
 have been one Barnaby Harrington. It was not until the edition of 1818 
 that Joseph Haslewood succeeded from internal evidence in identifying 
 the author as Richard Brathwaite.

 In addition to the frontispiece the present edition contains four new 
 plates engraved by J. Clark, one placed at the beginning of each part, 
 illustrating the following subjects : The Puritan gibbeting his cat ; Bar- 
 naby carried in state from the Cock at Budworth ; The voyage on the 
 haycock from Wansforth briggs ; and The horse without a tail, or, as the 
 print represents, with a detachable tail. The plate which in the second 
 edition represented Barnaby's departure from the inn has been altered 
 by erasing the figures of the host and hostess, and substituting the figure 
 of a female, and is here made to serve as frontispiece to Bessy Bell. 
 
 The text follows that of the second edition, with some minor varia- 
 tions. Most of the verses omitted in the second edition are restored in 
 this, but those " Upon this Work" are still left out.

 to be the " fourth edition," it is really the fifth when account is taken of 
 the Dublin edition of 1762. The text follows that of the third edition 
 with few variations. This edition with the general title-page dated 1774 
 seems to have been unknown to previous bibliographers, not being in- 
 cluded by Mr. Haslewood in his very complete list of the author's 
 works, where he only notes the reissue with title-page dated 1776 ; it was 
 again reissued under the date of 1778, when the ballad " Chevy Chase" 
 was added for the first time.

 ignorance of the fact that it first appeared in the edition of 17 16. 
 
 The present edition was issued in two sizes, small and large paper.

 This edition contains the same seven illustrations as that last described, 
 printed on the title and signatures C5, C7, E3, H5, I2, and I3. The 
 illustrations are really printed on separate leaves and inset, but as part of 
 the text is printed on the same leaves it has been thought better to count 
 them as part of the signatures in which they occur. 
 
 The edition is a reissue of the previous edition of the same year, re- 
 vised and corrected. The supplementary note to the "Advertisement" 
 reads as follows: "The rapid sale of a considerable impression of this 
 Journal in the short period of a few weeks, affords the editor an oppor- 
 tunity of presenting a new edition, improved by collation with the earlier 
 copies", and is dated September, 1805. 
 
 The most noticeable alteration is the omission of the verses at the end 
 "Ad Philoxenum" and the substitution of the verses "In Errata ". There 
 are numerous verbal alterations in the text, and some of them, it must be 
 confessed, are from a correct to a wrong reading. On the whole, how- 
 ever, this edition approaches nearer to the original than any that had 
 previously appeared.

 The volume is illustrated with the seven plates engraved by Harding 
 that first appeared in the two editions of 1805. They all show some 
 wear and are retouched. The emblematic plate of saddle, whips, etc., 
 has a view of a horse-race engraved at the foot. The plates are placed 
 facing pages 15, 17, 35, 59, 145, 159, 179. 
 
 The introduction, written by Joseph Haslewood, contains a long bib- 
 liographical account of all the previous editions of " Barnabees Journal ", 
 and a sketch of the life of Richard Brathwaite, who was here first iden- 
 tified as the author. 
 
 It is not thought necessary to give detailed collations of any of the 
 later editions of this work. A short enumeration of the titles, with a few 
 notes, may be of some interest.

 The four illustrations were designed and executed in lithography by 
 Mr. D. Dighton. 
 
 In going back to the extremely imperfect text of 1778, the publishers 
 were probably governed by the fact that the later editions of 1805, 18 18, 
 and 1820 contained copyrighted matter which they could not use.

 In this edition Haslewood'a two volumes are compressed into one. 
 \ i. w notes arc added, intended to bring the work down to date, but no 
 mention is made of the i8aa edition. 
 
 A .1 sample of the additional notes the following may be quoted from 
 
 140: " It was a Blight misconception on Haslewood's part, that the 
 
 original edition of the Journal was peculiar in form. It is, in fact, an 
 
 ordinary duodecimo, though collating in eights." The editor does not 
 
 explain how a"duodecimo can collatejn eights.

 If the larger part of the contents of this volume was not written as 
 early as 1625, at least the author wished it to be thought so. In his 
 prefatory poem "To the ingenuous State-Cenfor" he says: 
 
 " My younger years compos'd thefe rurall Rymes.

 The poems are chiefly of a satirical nature. In " The Honest Ghost" 
 the author pretends that it was written from the Fleet Prison, where he 
 was imprisoned for debt. He sends his spirit abroad to observe and re- 
 port the social and political follies of the day. In the " Age for Apes "

 The quotations from Chaucer are printed in black-letter, while the 
 comments are in ordinary roman type. In the appendix the author 
 claims that he had been urged by " fundry Perfons of Quality " to treat 
 the remaining tales of Chaucer in the same manner as he had done 
 these two, but that he had been forced to decline the task on the ground 
 of his age. Some copies bear the imprint " are to be Sold by Robert

 This edition differs chiefly from the first in the addition of several new 
 poems. In the first part of the Poems seven new songs, and in the 
 second part one new song, are added. One poem is added to the 
 Ballads, and one to the Epistles. In the last part of the volume all after 
 p. 325 is new. 
 
 Among the Epistles one short poem is omitted in this edition. It is 
 the twenty-ninth of the first edition, and as that number is skipped in the 
 second edition the omission was undoubtedly accidental.

 Jonson. 
 
 Note on the Portraits of Alexander Brome 
 
 There are four distinct portraits of Brome, or rather two portraits, one 
 of which is in three states. The first was engraved by A. Hertocks, and 
 comes in the first edition of the Poems, 1661. It represents the head 
 and bust turned slightly to the right, within an oval wreath. At the top 
 is a ribbon inscribed "vera effiyies A: Brome. 1661 ". On a tablet 
 below are the words " Carmina Desunt ", and at the right of the wreath 
 " A : Hertochs fecit ". 
 
 The second portrait was engraved by D. Loggan, and appeared in 
 the second edition of the Poems (1664), and in the Poems of Horace 
 (1666). In its general features it follows the Hertocks engraving, but in
 
 94 Col Lit ions and Notes 
 
 place of the inscription at the top it has a ribbon beneath the oval, in- 
 bed "Vera Effigies A: Brome 1664". In the second state of this 
 plate the parallel lines outside the wreath are cross-hatched; the back- 
 ground at the right ol the head is cross-hatched with slanting lines; and 
 the face is retouched, nearly all the original lines being worn away. 
 
 The third stale of the Loggan plate appeared in the third edition of 
 the Poems (1668). In it the whole of the portrait inside the oval wreath 
 has been erased and reengraved, and the shelf on which the wreath 
 rests is inscribed " /Ktatis sua? 44 ".

 The present is the first authorized edition. In his preface the author 
 says : " I have at present represented unto the world a full and intended 
 copy of that Peece which was most imperfectly and surreptitiously 
 published before. This I confesse about seven yeares past, with some 
 others of affinitie thereto, for my private exercise and satisfaction, I had 
 at leisurable houres composed ; which being communicated unto one, it 
 became common unto many, and was by transcription successively cor- 
 rupted untill it arrived in a most depraved copy at the presse." 
 
 It is to be noted that this edition was issued by the same bookseller 
 as the two surreptitious ones ; and that he used for it the same engraved 
 title that had appeared in them, merely erasing the words " Religio 
 Medici " from the face of the plate, and the inscription at the foot, in- 
 cluding the engraver's name, and substituting the inscription given above.

 Collations and Notes 107 
 
 The present volume shows so many changes from the one last described 
 as to make it doubtful whether to call it a second edition of that, or an 
 entirely new poem. The dedications in Latin and English to the King 
 are replaced by that to Sir John Finch. The commendatory poems are 
 added. The work is reduced to fifty-one stanzas, and the concluding 
 stanza, "L'Envoy au Roy," as well as "The Hymne inauguratory for his 
 Maiestie," is omitted. The whole poem is rewritten and considerably 
 altered. It is not known who is responsible for these alterations, but the 
 fact that the death of James I (1625) is alluded to in the forty-fifth 
 stanza would conclusively prove that they were not the work of Sir 
 George Buck, who died in 1623.

 The whole work consists of a description of the various fashions, muti- 
 lations, and monstrosities that have been cultivated by different races, 
 and it is divided into twenty-four chapters or " scenes," each of which is 
 devoted to a different portion of the human body. The appendix gives 
 the origins of various English fashions. The work is very fully illustrated 
 throughout with curious woodcuts in the text. 
 
 The list of " Workes of the Author already publifhed " covers the four 
 titles described in this catalogue. As the list of " Workes accomplished 
 by the Authour " may be of some interest to students, as showing them 
 what they have escaped, it is given here in full. None of the works 
 enumerated ever saw the light.

 From the fact that Sig. F is in five leaves instead of twelve and the 
 pagination breaks from 105 to 120 at the same place, it would seem as 
 if some of the text had been duplicated in setting up the type and to 
 correct it the form had been reset.

 The "First Part" of "Hudibras" was issued in three different forms

 The present is the first genuine large octavo edition and the first to be 
 issued. The title is nearly identical with that of the small octavo, a fac-

 This is the first genuine edition printed in twelves. In every other 
 respect it is exactly like the small octavo edition last described. 
 
 A variation of this edition has the imprimatur printed on the verso 
 of the title, leaving Sig. Ai a blank leaf; although a close paginary 
 reprint, a number of minor changes indicate clearly that the same sheets 
 were not used with a new title-page, but that the type was reset, thus 
 making it a distinct edition.

 which is exactly the same as the second issue of the one described above. 
 The title-pages, however, are entirely different, and for the purpose of 
 comparison facsimiles of both are given. This third spurious edition 
 may be further distinguished by the frequent use of the italic k in place

 The second part of Hudibras was issued in only two forms — large oc- 
 tavo and small octavo. The present is the large octavo and presumably 
 the first to be issued. The printed matter of the title measures sH x 3I 
 inches, and further than that differs only in the lining off from the small 
 octavo, a facsimile of which is given.

 few points of difference from the large octavo edition last described. 
 The device on the title is exactly the same, but the imprint is lined off 
 differently in order to accommodate the smaller page. The more impor- 
 tant errors of the larger edition are here corrected, while others remain 
 unchanged, and the list of errata is omitted.

 of the " Pindaric ode to the happy memory of the most renowned Du

 After Butler's death his papers were preserved by William Longueville, 
 who bequeathed them to his son Charles, from whom they came into the 
 possession of John Clarke of Wolgherton in Cheshire. In 1754 they 
 were examined by R. Thyer, Keeper of the Public Library in Man- 
 chester, who, in 1759, published the collection described in the following 
 number.

 This same work was reissued in 167 1, using the same sheets, with 
 a new title, which differs only from that given above in the imprint, 
 which is as follows: " London, | Printed for H. Herringman at the Blew 
 Anchor | in the Lower Walk of the New Exchange, | and are to be fold 
 by Hobart Kemp at the Sign | of the Ship in the Vpper Walk of the | 
 New Exchange, 167 1." No further edition appeared until 1772. In 
 the present century several editions have been published, the most note- 
 worthy being Thomas Maitland's edition of Edinburgh, 1824, that edited 
 by W. Carew Hazlitt in 1870, and that edited by J. W. Ebsworth for the 
 " Library of Old Authors " in 1893. The latter is nearly all that a mod- 
 ern edition of an old English poet should be, though the bibliography, 
 which the editor has added, is marred by several inaccuracies that de- 
 tract considerably from its value.

 The Duchess of Newcastle's works are noted for the number of 
 Prefaces and Addresses to the Reader which they contain. The present 
 volume has several in addition to those noted in the above collation. 
 On Sig. H2 occurs an address "To Morall Philosophers". On 
 Sig. Aai the poems are again interrupted by an epistle "To all 
 writing Ladies ". The poems end on Sig. HI14, and are followed 
 by a prose dialogue entitled "The Animall Parliament". This is fol- 
 lowed by a short apologetical note, and five poems in which the author 
 addressed her audience in the first person. At the end is the following 
 announcement : " Reader, I have a little Tract of Philofophicall Fancies 
 in Profe, which will not be long before it appear in the world." 
 
 A second edition of this volume was published in 1664, and a third in 
 1668. A selection from the Duchess of Newcastle's Poems was edited 
 by Sir S. E. Brydges and printed at the Lee Priory Press in 1813.

 This work consists of short essays on every imaginable subject. It is 
 divided into three books, the first of which is subdivided into two parts 
 and the second and third into three parts each. At the end of nearly 
 every part is an epistle, in which the noble authoress drops her learned 
 tone, and takes the reader into her confidence in relation to her personal 
 affairs, how she came to write the book, etc. The volume concludes 
 with two poems, in the second of which she states that this work is her 
 own favorite of all she had written. 
 A second edition was published in 167 1.

 The volume is edited by Isaac Walton, whose preface is dated May 7 , 
 1678. So little is known of the reputed author John Chalkhill that he 
 has been supposed by some writers to be a myth, and that the poem was 
 Walton's own. If such a poet as Chalkhill ever actually existed, Walton 
 is apparently the only one who ever knew him. In his " Compleat 
 Angler," 1653, he printed two songs, — "O, the sweet contentment" and 
 "O, the gallant fisher's life,"— signed " Io. Chalkill." 
 
 An edition of "Thealma and Clearchus " edited by Samuel W. Singer 
 was issued by the Chiswick Press in 1820.

 The volume is practically divided into two parts between the third and 
 fourth books. Each part is paged separately besides having a separate 
 set of signatures, and the lines are spaced wider in the second part than 
 in the first, giving the page a more open appearance. It has been con- 
 jectured that the printing of the volume was interrupted by the author's 
 employment in the civil wars. 
 
 In 1820 an edition of the poem, with a play, was published in three 
 volumes.

 in 1689.

 Bibliographers have heretofore described only one edition of this work, 
 but there exist two. One is described above. The title of the second 
 is exactly the same as that of the first, even to the type-metal border. 
 At the head of Sig. A2 recto the second edition has a broad ornamental 
 band in place of the narrow band of the first edition. The type page in 
 the second is smaller than in the first, with the result that the volume 
 contains one additional leaf, signed Bi. There seems to be no way of 
 determining which of the two editions was the earlier.

 This first edition of Cleveland's poems contains seventeen poems in 
 addition to the prose piece from which it takes its title. 
 
 There were at least five editions of this work published during this year, 
 1647. A second edition, having the same title and contents and collating 
 the same as that described above, can be identified only by a close com- 
 parison ; it is, however, a distinct edition, entirely reprinted throughout. 
 A point of difference that will serve readily to distinguish them is that in 
 one edition the recurring title, "The Character of a London-Diurnall", 
 on page 7, is omitted, apparently through an oversight, the space be- 
 ing occupied only by the figure "(7)"; in the other the running title 
 is printed in full as usual. 
 
 There seems to be no way of determining which of these two editions 
 was the earlier.

 This is the first of the editions of Cleveland's poems published in small

 This is the second edition published in 165 1. It contains four poems 
 in addition to those in the edition last described, making thirty-two in 
 all. It also includes among the prose works two letters addressed to 
 Cleveland, with his answers. 
 
 Lowndes's description of the two editions published in this year is ex- 
 tremely misleading. He says of one that it has two portraits and con- 
 sists of 78 leaves in addition to the title. Neither of the editions 
 described above has any portrait, and each one has 78 pages in addition 
 to the title.

 making thirty-eight in all. Among them are the well-known lines 
 " upon the Death of King Charles the First ", written by the Earl of 
 Montrose, which from this time continued to be included in every edi- 
 tion of Cleveland's poems. The " Character Of A Diurnal-Maker" also 
 appears here for the first time. 
 
 It is stated in Lowndes's Manual that the edition of 1653 is only the 
 edition of 165 1 with a new title. It will be seen that neither of the two 
 editions of 1653 described above agrees with the description of Lowndes.

 Another edition, the eleventh, was printed this year with exactly the

 ever, entirely reprinted, as shown by corrections in spelling, different orna-

 its having, in place of the rectangular ornament on the title, the printer's 
 device, a Bible with letters W. S. (William Sheares) on either side.

 In many respects this is the most interesting of all the early editions of 
 Cleveland. The first part of the volume as far as p. 88 contains the 
 same thirty-eight poems which appeared in the last five editions described. 
 Then follow, under the simple heading " Additions," thirty-four new 
 poems. The prose works succeed to these, and the volume concludes 
 with a single poem, "A Sigh ", as described above. Of these thirty-four 
 additional poems, thirty are transferred bodily from Robert Fletcher's 
 "Ex Otio Negotium ", which was published in 1656. The poems thus 
 appropriated continued to be published under Cleveland's name in nearly

 every edition of his works, and as far as is known have never, until 
 now, been ascribed to their true author. The other four are " Vituperium

 it, " An Elegie On Mr. Iohn Cleveland ", and lines " Upon the pitifull 
 Elegy writ lately on him ". The authorship of these four pieces is so 
 far undetermined.

 The five editions of 1661, 1662, 1665, 1666, and 1669 contain ex- 
 actly the same matter as that of 1659, without addition or subtraction. 
 Issued by the same publisher, they resemble each other in many particu- 
 lars, though they are distinctly separate impressions. The resemblance 
 between the editions of 1665 and 1669 is especially close. The type is 
 the same in each, and some of the errors of one are repeated in the 
 other. Thus pp. 122-3 are misnumbered 120-1 in each; on p. 118, in 
 the title of the poem, "An old man courting a young girl," the word 
 " young " is spelled " yuong " in each. Other errors are corrected, how- 
 ever, in the later edition, which shows conclusively that the two are 
 entirely distinct and separate.

 This volume begins a new series of Cleveland, which continued, for a 
 few years, to be published concurrently with the regular editions of his 
 works, and was finally incorporated in the edition of 1687. The editor 
 of the collection, E. Williamson, in his epistle "to the discerning reader" 
 claims to have been a friend of the poet, from whom he received the 
 manuscripts which he here publishes. In his words Cleveland stated to 
 him that "moll of his former printed Poems were truly his own, except 
 fuch as have been lately added, to make up the Volume." This can hardly
 
 Collations and Notes 159 
 
 refer to the borrowings from Fletcher, which appeared the same year as 
 the present publication, since Cleveland died the previous year. The 
 editor admits, both on the title and in his epistle, that he has in- 
 cluded some pieces by authors other than Cleveland. The collection 
 contains thirty-six pieces in all. Among them is a Latin version of 
 "The Rebel Scot", the original of which had always been included among 
 Cleveland's poems. Four different elegies on Ben Jonson are taken from 
 "Jonsonus Virbius", a collection of elegies on Jonson, which was pub- 
 lished after his death in 1638. In that volume only one of them, that 
 beginning "Who first reform'd our stage with justest laws", is credited to 
 Cleveland ; of the other three, one is by Richard West (" Poet of Princes, 
 Prince of Poets", etc.), one is signed by Jasper Mayne ("As when the 
 Vestal hearth went out"), and one is anonymous. 
 
 "An entertainment at Cotswold" (p. 38) is by William Durham, and 
 was first published in Captain Robert Dover's " Annalia Dubrensia", 1638. 
 
 Eleven pieces are taken from the Poems of John Hall (Cambridge, 
 1646), viz., "Upon a talkative woman" (p. 2), "On an ugly woman" 
 (p. 9), "On a little Gentlewoman profoundly learned" (p. 12), "On Par- 
 sons the great Porter" (p. 15), "To Chloris a Rapture" (p. 18), "Upon 
 Wood of Kent" (p. 26), "To his Mistresse" (p. 48), "On one that was 
 deprived of his Testicles" (p. 56), "The Flight" (p. 61), "On a 
 Burning-glasse" (p. 78), and "Not to Travel" (p. 81). In each case the 
 title has been altered. 
 
 It is probable that a close comparison with the miscellaneous verse of 
 the period would disclose other borrowings.

 Rampant, Being an Univerfity Character, and a fhort Survey of fome of

 Scot " appears along with the Latin, and the volume concludes with an 
 epitaph on Cleveland by William Winstanley. The additional poems 
 are mainly of a political character, and it is more than probable that none 
 of them are by Cleveland.

 This edition of Cleveland's works was issued with at least three dis- 
 tinct title-pages. The other two, as they differ materially, are given in full : 
 
 (1) Clievelandi Vindiciae; | Or, | Clieveland's | Genuine Poems, | 
 Orations, Epiftles, &c. | Purged from the many | Falfe & Spurious Ones |

 I Publifhed according to the Author's own Copies. | London, \ Printed for 
 Nath. Brooke, at the Angel in Come- \ Hill near the Royal Exchange, 167 J. 
 
 This is probably the most correct of all the editions of Cleveland. 
 The two editors whose initials are signed to the Epistle Dedicatory are 
 John Lake, Bishop of Man, Bristol, and Chichester, and S. Drake, Vicar 
 of Pontefract. 
 
 The volume contains only thirty poems in all. The additional 
 poems taken from Fletcher in 1659 are dropped, as well as twelve of 
 the old ones which had always been included in Cleveland's works.
 
 164 Collations and Notes 
 
 Four new poems are inserted and the Latin and English versions of 
 "The Rebel Scot" are printed together. 
 
 The additions to the prose works are quite considerable, and make 
 up for what has been taken from the poetry. A short summary of all 
 the prose works may not prove uninteresting : 
 
 The Character of a Country-Committee-man, &c. 
 
 The Character of a Diurnal-maker. 
 
 The Character of a London-Diurnal. 
 
 To the Protector after a long and vile Durance in Prison. 
 
 To the Earl of Westmoreland. 
 
 Letter to a Friend disswading him from his attempt to marry a Nun. 
 
 Two letters from a Parliament Officer at Grantham to Mr. Cleveland 
 in Newark. 
 
 All of the above had already appeared in the earlier editions. The 
 following, with such exceptions as are noted below, were now published 
 for the first time : 
 
 An answer to a Pamphlet written against the Lord Digby's speech, 
 concerning the death of the Earl of Strafford. 
 
 To the Earl of Newcastle. 
 
 To the Earl of Holland. 
 
 Piece of Common place upon Romans the 4th. Last verse. 
 
 The answer to the Newark Summons. 
 
 Eleven orations and twelve epistles in Latin. 
 
 Eight of these last had already appeared in the various editions of 
 "J. Cleaveland Revived" together with English translations. The 
 editors of the volume under review speak of this in the following words : 
 " We know you have not without passionate resentments beheld the 
 prostitution or his name in some late Editions vended under it, wherein 
 his Orations are murthered over and over in barbarous Latine, and a 
 more barbarous Translation." 
 
 The portrait prefixed to the volume, though unsigned, was attributed 
 by Vertue to Robert White, and is doubtless the work of his hands. It 
 bears the inscription, "Vera Effigies Iohannis Cleaveland Printed for 
 Nat : Brooke at the Angel in Cornhill."

 The unsold copies of this edition were reissued in 1699 with a new 
 title as follows:

 This is the edition which generally appears in booksellers' catalogues 
 as the " best ", following the lead of Lowndes. He probably called it 
 so because it was the largest. It has no other merit. The bookseller 
 who was responsible for it gathered together nearly everything that had 
 ever appeared under Cleveland's name, and so great was his anxiety to 
 omit nothing that he inserted one poem, that on Prince Rupert, twice. 
 The first part of the volume is a literal reprint of the edition of 1677,
 
 ii.o Collations and Notes 
 
 last described. The second part, under the title of "John Cleaveland's 
 Revived Poems", includes all the poems which had been omitted from 
 the 1677 edition, the poems borrowed from Fletcher, and all the poems 
 which had appeared in the four editions of " J. Cleaveland Revived". 
 In the midst of them are inserted "An Elegy upon Mr. John Cleveland" 
 and lines "Upon the pittiful Elegy writ lately on him", which made 
 their first appearance together with the Fletcher poems, "An Elegy in 
 Memory of Mr. John Cleveland ", by William Winstanley, which came 
 from "J. Cleaveland Revived ", and " An Elegy, offered to the Memory of 
 that Incomparable Son of Apollo, Mr. John Cleveland ", by J. M., "An 
 Elegy on Mr. Cleveland, and his verses on Smectymnuus ", and "The 
 Elegy made upon Mr. John Cleveland's Death cry'd i'th Streets, hebeeing 
 then in good Disposition of Health ", by J. Parry. The last three are 
 apparently published here for the first time. 
 
 The volume concludes with a reprint of "The Rustic Rampant ", which 
 first appeared anonymously in 1654. 
 
 The portrait prefixed to the volume is the engraving by White, with 
 the bookseller's imprint erased. 
 
 Note on the Portraits of Cleveland 
 Beginning with 1653, it is probable that nearly if not quite all the 
 editions of Cleveland's Poems should contain a portrait of the author ; 
 but as none of his portraits are signed by the engraver, it is difficult to 
 distinguish them sufficiently to indicate to which edition each portrait 
 belongs, a difficulty that is not diminished by the frequent habit of mod- 
 ern booksellers of completing a defective copy with the first portrait that 
 comes to hand. 
 
 The earliest portrait that we have noted represents him turned slightly 
 to the right, in clerical (or academic) dress, with long flowing hair, hold- 
 ing a book in his right hand. The portrait is within a floriated oval 
 with a heavy scroll at the foot, and the following inscription beneath : 
 " Vera et viva Effigies Iohannis Cleeveland " (dimensions 2 j-| x 5^ 
 inches). This plate and copies of it were used in many editions. One 
 copy (2fx 5 inches) may be distinguished by the embroidered instead of 
 plain band crossing the breast, and by the ornamental binding of the 
 book. Both of these plates are very coarsely engraved. Another copy, 
 much better engraved, has the name spelled " Cleaueland " (2^x37 
 inches). 
 
 The four editions of " J. Cleaveland Revived " contain a new portrait, 
 a laureated bust on a pedestal inscribed, " Vera Effigies J : Cleaulandi " ; 
 at the foot is the following inscription :

 " For weighty Numbers, fenfe, misterious wayes 
 Of happie wit, Great Cleauland claimes his Baies. 
 
 Sepultus Colleg: Whitintonij. 2 May An : 1658." 
 
 The best engraved of all the portraits is that prefixed to " Clievelandi 
 Vindiciae ", 1677. It is unsigned, but is probably the work of Robert 
 White, and is ascribed to him by Vertue. The likeness is undoubtedly 
 copied from the earlier portraits. The same plate was used in the 
 "Works" of 1687, with the bookseller's imprint erased, as was noted in 
 the description of that edition.

 This first edition of Dr. Corbet's Poems was published twelve years after 
 the author's death. It was probably intended at first to end the volume 
 at Sig. E3, and some copies lack the last two signatures, the first of 
 which evidently should be F instead of A. Two poems in the first part 
 of the volume are repeated in the second part; viz., "Upon Miftris 
 Mallet" (p. 26) appears again on p. 56 under the title "Upon an un- 
 handfome Gentlewoman Who made Love unto him"; and "A Reply" 
 (p. 52) is reprinted on p. 70 as "In Poetam Ex Auctoratum & Emeritum." 
 The collection contains thirty-six separate poems, exclusive of the dupli- 
 cates.

 The title as quoted above is an almost sufficient description of the 
 contents of this curious medley. The volume begins with a series of 
 " Pleafant and Witty Dialogues". Then comes "A Labyrinth of Fan- 
 cies ", consisting of " Pretty Conceits ", tricks of legerdemain, etc. These 
 are followed by " Several Love-Songs, Drollery, and other Verfes ", and 
 by " Epigrams and Epitaphs", poems on drinking, lists of famous Greek 
 and Roman drinkers, and descriptions of divination, geometry, dials, 
 and some other subjects. Then come descriptions of certain games, 
 which are followed by "The Perfect Inditer: Or Letters A la Mode", 
 a sort of complete letter-writer. These in turn are followed by " Com- 
 plements A la Mode ", and a list of some of the Greek and Latin gods 
 and goddesses. The volume concludes with a description and explana- 
 tion of several ciphers, including that of Cardinal Richelieu. A second 
 edition had appeared in 1662.

 The publisher's note is as follows : " Most of thefe Verfes, which the 
 Author had no intent to publifh, having been lately printed at Dublin

 takes in the Impreffion, He hath thought fit for his j unification in fome

 Although the above work bears Cowley's name on the title and is 
 placed among his works by Lowndes and others, there seems to be no 
 other authority for it than the following statement of the publisher in his 
 preface to the reader : " Meeting accidentally with this Poem in Manu- 
 fcript, and being informed that it was a Piece of the incomparable Mr. 
 A C's, I thought it unjufl to hide fuch a treafure from the World. I 
 remember'd that our Author in his Preface to his Works, makes men-

 The last signature in the book (k) runs 
 very irregularly as follows: k. 3. 4. 5. 6 
 (pp. 215-224), Sig. k2 being skipped. 
 Thus the leaf that is printed k6 is actu- 
 ally ks. 
 
 The two parts described above were printed for different publishers 
 and have separate signatures, but in other respects they are nearly uni- 
 form. They are sometimes bound separately. 
 
 All the titles in the second part, with one exception, bear a printer's 
 device, two hands holding a caduceus between two horns of plenty 
 surmounted by Pegasus, which was originally the device of Andre 
 Wechel, a Paris printer of the sixteenth century. The device on the 
 title to "Piramus and Thisbe ", Apollo driving the chariot of the sun, 
 was doubtless also borrowed.

 Although this is called the second edition on the title, it is in reality the 
 third edition of " Steps to the Temple", being preceded by the editions 
 of 1646 and 1648. This edition sometimes is found with another title 
 which reads as follows : 
 
 Steps I To The | Temple, | The | Delights | Of The | Muses, | And | 
 Carmen | Deo Nostro | By Ric. Crafhaw, fometimes Fellow of Pern- | 
 broek Hall, and Fellow of St. Peters Colledge in | Cambridge. | The 
 Third Edition. | London, | Printed for Richard Bently, Jacob Tonfon, \ 
 Francis Saunders, and Tho. Befinet. 
 
 The body of the work consists of the same sheets and is identically the 
 same. 
 
 This, the last of the early editions of Crashaw, is, critically speaking, 
 worthless. All of the Latin poems, as well as several of the English, are 
 omitted, and two poems are inserted twice under different titles. Thus 
 " Death's lecture, the funeral of a young gentleman " (p. 206) had already 
 been printed on p. 96 under the title " Upon Mr. Stanninough's death", 
 and the lines " In praise of Lessius, his rule of health" (p. 108) are re- 
 peated on p. 207 under the title "Temperance, or the cheap Physitian 
 upon the translation of Lessius ". This second version contains eight 
 more lines than the first. The compiler of the 1670 edition evidently 
 had the editions of 1646 and 1648 before him, as they show the same 
 variation in these two titles, and the second edition has the addition of 
 the eight lines to the second poem.

 The assertion made in one of the prefatory poems of this volume that 
 the " pictures in the following Poemes . . . the Author firfl made with 
 his owne hand " cannot be taken literally. Four of them (Nos. 6, 7, 10. 
 and 12) bear the name of I. Messager as engraver, and a fifth (No. 3) is 
 signed with the initials of Goltzius. Out of the whole number there are 
 only four (Nos. 1, 2, 8, and 1 1) that may perhaps be assigned to Crashaw. 
 It is very probable that, excepting those four, none of the plates were origi- 
 nally engraved for this volume, but that they had already appeared in 
 other publications and formed a part of the stock of the Paris printing- 
 office. In some copies of the present volume a curious variation occurs 
 in the plate on Sig. K4 recto (No. 10). Instead of the plate as de- 
 scribed engraved by Messager representing the Virgin holding the infant 
 Christ in her arms, while two angels are holding a crown surmounted
 
 Collations and Notes 207 
 
 with the dove over her head, there is substituted a plate representing the 
 Virgin, with crossed arms, bending over an elaborately embroidered 
 couch, on which the Infant Christ is lying. 
 
 The collection is, properly speaking, a selection from "Steps to the 
 Temple", 1646 and 1648, with a few new poems added. It contains 
 thirty-nine separate pieces, of which the following appear here for the 
 first time : " Crashawe, the anagrame. He was Car ", " An epigram 
 upon the pictures in the following poems ", by Thomas Car, dedication 
 to the Countess of Denbigh, " New Year's day ", " The office of the 
 holy cross ", " O Gloriosa Domina ", " St. Mary Magdalene, or, the 
 weeper." 
 
 Copies occur with title dated 1674, and with the following line 
 added : " Proftant Venales apud Joann. Creed."

 Lord Cutts was more distinguished as a soldier than as a poet. He 
 served in the wars of William and Mary, and Queen Anne, and attained 
 the rank of lieutenant-general. At one time Richard Steele was his 
 private secretary. Steele dedicated to him his " Christian Hero ", and 
 published in the fifth volume of the " Tatler" some of Cutts's poems as the 
 productions of " Honest Cynthio ".

 "The author's preface to his much honour'd friend Mr. Hobs", and 
 the answer of Hobbes, together with a few specimen pages of the poem, 
 were published at Paris in 1650. Davenant's poetry and his personal 
 appearance were favorite subjects of ridicule by the poets of the period, 
 and the publication of " Gondibert " called forth two volumes, now very 
 rare, entitled " Certain verses written by several of the authors friends ; 
 to be re-printed with the second edition of Gondibert", 1653, and "The 
 incomparable poem Gondibert, vindicated from the wit-combats of four 
 esquires, Clinias, Dametas, Sancho, and Jack Pudding", 1655. [See

 Bibliographers usually ascribe this work to Robert Dixon, dean of 
 Rochester, who died in 1688. Corser says : 
 
 "Although we have followed the usual current of opinion . . . we 
 confess that, judging from the general style, subject and language of its 
 contents, we are not without considerable doubt of his being the author, 
 because it is so utterly at variance with his acknowledged writings."

 This edition was prepared by John Donne the younger, who signed 
 the dedication. The " Characters " and the " Epigrams " appear here 
 for the first time. The "Paradoxes" and "Problemes" had already 
 been published in two editions in 1633, under the title " Juvenilia Or Cer- 
 taine Paradoxes And Problemes" (see No. 284). To the present (third) 
 edition one new " Paradox " and seven new "Problemes" arc added. 
 making in all twelve and seventeen respectively. 
 
 " Ignatius his Conclave " was first published in 161 1, concurrently with 
 an edition in Latin. The English version was reissued with a new title in 
 1626, and republished in 1634. The assertion, therefore, on the title, 
 that the work is " tranllated out of the originall copy written in Latin by 
 the fame Author ; found lately amongft his own papers ", is false.

 but in 1682, and again in 1687, when political feeling ran high, it was 
 reprinted, probably at the instigation of his enemies, with changed titles. 
 (See Nos. 304 and 305.) The collection of three poems was likewise 
 republished with a changed title in 1682. (See No. 329.)

 First published in 1659 as "A Poem Upon The Death Of His Late 
 Highnefs, Oliver, Lord Protector Of England ", etc. (see No. 303), it was 
 also printed in the same year in connection with poems upon the same 
 subject by Waller and Sprat, and again, both collectively and individ- 
 ually, in 1682 (see Nos. 328, 329, and 304). This is therefore the fifth 
 appearance of Dryden's poem in print.

 The controversy with Sir Robert Howard, to which the present volume 
 was Dryden's principal contribution, was begun by Dryden in the 
 preface to his "Rival Ladies", 1664. That was answered by Howard 
 in the preface to his own Plays, 1665. The controversy was continued 
 by both authors in the prefaces to their respective plays.

 252 Collations and Notes 
 
 There were two issues of the above work this year, so similar in all 
 respects as to be easily confounded with each other except on a close 
 examination ; the easiest method of identification is on the title, where 
 the word " Fleet-Street " in the imprint as given above is printed 
 " Fleetstreet " in the other issue ; changes in certain letters of the text 
 of the work, especially in the use of the double " V " for the " W ", in- 
 dicate that it was partially if not wholly reprinted. There is no evidence 
 as to which is the earlier of the two issues. 
 
 The larger part of this poem was written by Tate ; Dryden contrib- 
 uted about two hundred lines, beginning on p. 10, " Next thefe, a Troop 
 of buify Spirits prefs", and ending on p. 16, " To talk like Doeg, and to 
 Write like Thee". It was published in October, 1682, and marks the 
 closing on Dryden's part of the controversy with Shadwell, Settle, and 
 others.

 In order of publication this is the second of Dryden's political satires. 
 It was occasioned by the striking of a medal inscribed "Laetamur" on 
 the failure of the prosecution against Shaftesbury. Dryden's satire 
 called forth several answers, among which are the anonymous " Satire 
 to his Muse " and the " Medal of John Bayes ", by Thomas Shadwell. 
 Shadwell was answered by Dryden in " Mac Flecknoe ", described in 
 the following number.

 Dryden, in cooperation with Nathaniel Lee, had written a play called 
 " The Duke of Guise ", which gave rise to the story that he had intended 
 a parallel to the contest of the court against Shaftesbury and Mon- 
 mouth. The present work is in answer to that charge.

 The volume is illustrated with 101 full-page copper-plates in addition 
 to the frontispiece, engraved by Hollar, Lombart, and Faithorne. One 
 is placed at the beginning of each of the ten Pastorals, twenty are given to 
 the Georgics, and seventy-one to the y£neis. These plates were origi- 
 nally engraved for and appeared in Ogilby's translation of Virgil, 1654 
 (reprinted 1658). In the present volume each plate is inscribed at the 
 foot to a separate patron, and a list of these patrons occurs among the 
 preliminary leaves. Among them are the names of Prince George of 
 Denmark, Princess Anne of Denmark, the Hon. Mr. Ch. Mountague 
 (Earl of Halifax), Henry St. John (Lord Bolingbroke), Sir Godfrey 
 Kneller, and others. 
 
 An article by Professor G. R. Noyes of the University of California, 
 which appeared in "Modern Language Notes" for May, 1904, under the
 
 Collations and Notes 261 
 
 title, " An unnoticed edition of Dryden's 'Virgil'", furnishes us with the 
 valuable information that there were two editions of the "Virgil" in the 
 same year, with identical title-pages. One, the earlier, was " printed on 
 stout paper with wide margin (size of leaf 17^ x u inches), the other 
 . . . on thinner paper, with narrow margin (size of leaf 13^x9). .. . In 
 the large paper folio the prose prefaces and dedications are left unnum- 
 bered, while in the smaller they are paged continuously with the poems. . . . 
 The page of errata in the larger book is here [in the smaller] omitted and 
 its directions are embodied in the text." 
 
 From these facts Professor Noyes draws the conclusion that the 
 smaller book is the second edition, which, according to Malone, was pub- 
 lished in 1698.

 This edition, though the first of Dryden's collected poems, is by no 
 means complete. The verses to Cromwell, the "Astraea Redux ", " Al- 
 exander's Feast", "Annus Mirabilis ", and the poem on the coronation 
 of Charles II, as well as many of his earlier contributions to the books 
 of other authors, are not included. The edition seems t.> have been 
 hastily printed by Tonson to accompany the edition of the plays in two 
 volumes, published by him in the same year.

 Each of the satires, twenty-two in all, is preceded by a half-title and 
 argument and followed by explanatory notes. From the half-titles to 
 Juvenal we find that five of the satires were translated by John Dryden, 
 one each by Charles Dryden and John Dryden, Jr., two by Tate, one 
 each by Bowles, Stepney, Harris, Congreve, Power, and Creech, and one 
 by an anonymous translator. All the satires of Persius were translated 
 by John Dryden.

 There is some uncertainty about the date of this work, Lowndes 
 putting it in 1691. From the preface of "Tales Tragical And Comical", 
 1704 (see No. 339), it would appear that that was the earlier of the two 
 works. On the other hand, "Titus and Giffippus" was published sepa- 
 rately, according to Hazlitt, about 1704, whereas, from an allusion in the 
 advertisement of the "Stories", its appearance in that collection would 
 seem to be its first. The make-up of the book is poor, the running title 
 of the first story being irregular, while there are serious mistakes in the 
 pagination, and signatures N1-N4 are misprinted E-E4. 
 
 The following request is added to the " Advertifement " : "Since 'tis 
 almofl impoffible to hinder fome miflakes in the Print, the Reader is 
 defired to judge favourably, and mend with his Pen the Errors he may 
 cafually meet with."

 In the second and third volumes the quotation on the title-page is 
 omitted, and the number of the volume precedes the author's name, while 
 both the quotation and author's name are omitted in the fourth and fifth 
 volumes. There seem to have been some copies, however, in which the 
 volume number was used for all the volumes, the quotation and author's 
 name being omitted. From these, and other facts, it would seem as if the 
 work were originally planned to be complete in one volume, and then 
 enlarged volume by volume. 
 
 It is probable that, after a few copies of the first five volumes had been 
 issued, the title and head-lines were changed to read uniformly with that 
 of the sixth volume. That the title "Songs Compleat ", etc., was the 
 earlier of the two issues is shown by the fact that the catch* 
 the end of the "Table" in each of the live volumes still remained 
 "Songs", while the running title was changed to read. " Tills to Purge 
 Melancholy".
